Current Status

I have had a lot of stuff going on throughout the summer. I apologize to readers that were awaiting updates along the way. The most significant update would probably have to be with my relationship status. Rebecca and I had a very quick but rich summer of growth. God truly grew us in so many ways and the culmination of that was in our getting engaged on August 14th. As nothing is truly final until it happens, our plans are to get married shortly after my return from Macedonia. She is currently attending Greenville College in Illinois and will be there for two more years. Time frames work out amazingly. More recently though, I came down with Tonsillitis a little over two weeks ago, and in the course of treatment had bloodwork done to show me the root cause was that I have Mono! So I have been resting since I've found out. I believe God gives me strength to do what I need to do though and am thus in Morgan Hill to speak at a Missions Week service tonight, not only to work towards raising my support for my trip but also in an effort to motivate students to seek after God's calling on their life. So all in all, even though I have been sick and having a hard time being away from my fiance, I am still doing well.
